摘要

背景和目的：与异性恋和异性恋人群相比，LGBTQIA2S +人群被认为具有更高的问题赌博风险，因为他们的精神障碍和药物滥用率较高。然而，在加拿大的背景下，人们对这些人群的赌博行为知之甚少。方法：我们对18岁以上的加拿大居民（即LGBTQIA2S +）进行了一项在线调查，这些居民自认为性取向和性别多样化（即LGBTQIA2S +），并且在前一年至少有一次赌博（N = 1519）。我们使用描述性分析来描述样本的赌博习惯，并使用逻辑回归模型来确定与中高风险赌博相关的潜在因素。结果：我们的样本中问题赌博的患病率为19.6%。这一比例并不因性别或性别认同而异。同时，年龄与问题赌博呈负相关，与赌博投入呈正相关。逻辑回归显示，赌博频率、赌博老虎机、视频彩票机或扑克、表现出其他行为成瘾以及心理健康状况不佳等因素与问题赌博的高几率有关。年龄增长、白人身份认同、较高的家庭收入、泛性恋或酷儿身份认同是负相关因素。讨论和结论：与问题赌博相关的社会人口因素可能具有复杂的潜在关系，值得进一步研究。奖励反应快的赌博形式呈现出问题赌博的最高流行率。进一步对身份分组进行分析，并研究他们在赌博危害、健康和社会服务以及歧视方面的经历，可以深入了解这一人群的需求和挑战。

Problematic gambling among the LGBTQIA2S + population in Canada: A quantitative study

Background and Aims

LGBTQIA2S + populations are believed to be at higher risk of problem gambling due to their elevated rates of mental disorders and substance abuse compared to heterosexual and cisgender populations. However, little is known about these populations regarding their gambling practices in the Canadian context.

Methods

We conducted an online survey among Canadian residents 18 years or older who self-identify as sexually and gender-diverse (i.e., LGBTQIA2S + ) and have gambled at least once in the preceding year (N = 1,519). We used descriptive analysis to portray the sample’s gambling habits and a logistic regression model to identify potential factors associated with moderate-to-high-risk gambling.

Results

The prevalence of problematic gambling among our sample was 19.6%. This proportion did not vary according to sex or gender identity. Simultaneously, there was a negative relationship between age group and problematic gambling, and a positive relationship existed with gambling involvement. Logistic regression showed factors associated with higher odds of problematic gambling, including gambling frequency, gambling on slot machines, video lottery machines or poker, presenting other behavioral addictions, and poor mental health. Increasing age, identifying with White ethnicity, higher household income, and identifying as pansexual or queer were inversely correlated factors.

Discussion and Conclusions

Sociodemographic factors associated with problematic gambling likely have complex underlying relationships that merit further research. Gambling formats with faster reward responses presented the highest prevalence of problematic gambling. Further analysis by identity subgroups, and research on their experiences with gambling harm, health and social services, and discrimination could provide insight into the needs and challenges of this population.

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings. Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
